Actually, I did add caveats and do recognize that not all standards are equally important. In the tweets you link I'm talking about secure standards, as in standards that are actually considered secure. But my point was not "just follow standards anyway". This tweet clearly shows that: https://twitter.com/realhashbreaker/status/1128383029255258112?s=09 https://twitter.com/realhashbreaker/status/11283830292552581... Rather that it is better to promote to work through standards as a community as opposed to your way of where individuals promote their pet primitives. Standards serve a role as a focal point: the benefit of being big targets, getting a lot of scrutiny and easier for non-experts to find out if somebody found security issues.
